Performance of Semi-transparent Photovoltaic Façades
Abstract This chapter shows the potential of the architectural integration of semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) systems for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. The research presented focuses on developing a methodology able to quantify the building energy demand reduction provided by these novel constructive solutions. At the same time, the design parameters of the STPV solution are analyzed to establish which of them have the greatest impact on the global energy balance of the building, and therefore which have to be carefully defined in order to optimize the building operation. In summary, this work contributes to the understanding of the interaction between STPV systems and buildings, providing both components manufacturers and construction technicians, valuable information on the energy-saving potential of these new construction systems and defining the appropriate design parameters to achieve efficient solutions in both new and retrofitting projects.
